Default Dealer Recommendation for service? in GTA?

Hi all,

Can somebody refer me to a good dealership for service in Toronto? I'm looking for one that respects the car, i.e. doesn't drive it like mad, keeps it clean, covers the seats, mats, etc.

I'm considering Morningside Nissan, Avenue Nissan, Scarboro Nissan, and Markham Nissan.

I would appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks
Allan

Personally, I'm a believer in taking your vehicle to the dealership that originally sold it. If they have any sense, they'll do a good job and look after your Z. Most dealerships would want to maintain a good relationship with customers to capture repeat business when it's time to change their vehicle.
I can certainly recommend North End Nissan out in Milton but that's a bit far away for you.

Yah, I would go back to where I bought the car, but it's far away too!

So far, I've heard Markham Village Nissan is alright. And I've heard Agincourt is poor. So, hopefully more people will respond.

Thanks!

I bought at Woodchester Nissan and I too thought that they would provide the best service. My first visit to the dealership proved me wrong.

Since then, I have tried Avenue Nissan (awful!) and Downtown Nissan (excellent!). Downtown Nissan is located on Adelaide and Parliament (I think). Great service, not too busy and very professional.

Cheers,
Sherman

Thanks.

Has anybody tried Willowdale Nissan? At Yonge and Steeles?

I went there today for an oil change, I'm at 1100km and he wouldn't let me do it...he said I was wasting my money.

He also said there was some sort of additive in the oil to help break it in. I don't really believe that. I think I'll still go back at 1500km.

I would wait until you're done your break-in period at 2,000 kms.

I believe you take it back to where you bought the car , you had to have chosen them for a reason...

Jason were you on Hwy 7 today around 11:00 ?

I bought it from St. Clair, because they had the best price!

It's too far away for me to get an oil change there.

I'm going to try Willodale Nissan today, I stopped by the shop today, and it looked very clean and tidy. The mechanics didn't look they rushed the jobs, and they didn't drive the cars like madmen.

So, we'll see!

village nissan

i bought from willowdale but i've heard bad things about their service department

village isnt' the best, but it's close to me in unionville and they've been phenomenal from a customer service perspective (gave me a FREE oil change when I waited more than 30 mins... i didn't even notice the time pass)
